Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 1942.
The Cripps Mission was sent to India in 1942 during British colonial rule. Led by Sir Stafford Cripps, the mission aimed to secure Indian cooperation in World War II by promising Indians greater self-governance after the war. It proposed the formation of an Indian Union with autonomy for provinces and the right for provinces to opt out. However, the mission failed because Indian leaders, including the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League, found its proposals insufficient and unacceptable.
